Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive Buenos Aires, Argentina

Aires retains some uniquely Argentine attributes, including
tango bars and overflowing kiosks. Explore the city on your own
this afternoon and evening.

Day 2: Buenos Aires/Ushuaia | Echoes of Evita

This morning, join your guide to see the most important
landmarks in Buenos Aires: the Casa Rosada, Cabildo,
Metropolitan Cathedral, Plaza de Mayo and La Recoleta
Cemetery, last resting place of Eve Perón, Argentina’s beloved
and controversial former First Lady, who left behind a legacy of
social justice. This afternoon, fly approximately four hours south
to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world.

Day 3: Ushuaia | Strolling Through a Penguin Rookery

Drive to Estancia Harberton, the oldest estancia (farm) in Tierra
del Fuego and an Argentine National Historical Monument. Sail
to Isla Martillo to walk among a teeming rookery of Magellanic
penguins before continuing to Gable Island for lunch.
Afterward, sail back to Harberton and return to your hotel for
an evening at leisure.

Day 4: El Calafate | Patagonian Ranch Visit

Fly to El Calafate and experience Patagonian rural life during a
visit to an authentic ranch. Experience over 100 years of history
along its sheep corrals, its main building and its landscapes.
Watch sheep shearing and herding, and hike or horseback ride
along the banks of Argentino Lake. Tonight, savor a dinner of
lamb grilled on a traditional Patagonian cross stake.

Day 5: El Calafate | Magnificent Views of Glaciers

Today, visit Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the few remaining
advancing glaciers in the world. Hike at your own pace and
ability along the seven “balconies” (walkways) located at
different heights and distances from the glacier, each with
magnificent views of the glacier’s northern and southern faces.
This afternoon, relax at leisure at the hotel or explore quaint El
Calafate.

Days 6-8: Puerto Natales, Chile | Exploring Torres del Paine

Journey overland to Puerto Natales and spend three full days
exploring Puerto Natales or Torres del Paine National Park in
the heart of Patagonia. These areas boast a stunning array of
mountains, glaciers, lakes and forests. Along with thousands
of sheep, Patagonia is home to local animal species such as
guanaco, nandu, condor and flamingo. Explore by vehicle; on
horseback with trails providing access to places unreachable by
car; by boat along the fjords or rivers; and on foot, with treks
ranging from easy walks to much more extensive explorations.

capitol, including the Palacio de La Moneda Presidential Palace
